Southeast Conference (SEC) is seeking proposals from qualified software development teams to stabilize, enhance, and operationalize the JOLT application platform to support the public application and long-term administration of the Accelerating Clean Energy Savings (ACES) program (3 more years).
The selected contractor will work within the current architecture of the JOLT platform (and with our partner and the owner and administrator of JOLT, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation or AHFC) to enhance and modify the form builder functionality as needed in order to deliver a secure, scalable, and user-configurable platform capable of supporting high-volume program delivery, while reducing administrative burden and improving applicant and contractor experience.
SEC seeks a development partner who can not only implement required functionality, but also recommend improvements to system architecture, performance, and usability based on demonstrated experience with similar platforms.

We anticipate approximately 6,100 participants over three years. The number of simultaneous users is unknown; however, internal users (staff and contractors) would likely not exceed 10 at any given time.
A defined budget range has not yet been established.
